Solar Batteries
What is a Solar Battery?
A solar battery is one of the most crucial components in a solar energy system. When solar panels convert sunlight to electricity, the excess energy not consumed by the house can either be sent to the grid or stored in a battery. Integrating a battery system allows the household to utilise stored energy when needed most. This maximises productivity and efficiency, transforming your solar power generator into a 24/7 independent energy solution. Many solar systems above 5Kw Inverter Capacity (3 Phase) will be subject to export limiting. This generally means the network will allow 1500W above the load to be exported. With low feed in tariffs and export limitations a battery is sound investment.
Middle Swan Solar is dedicated to sourcing and installing only premium solar batteries to provide tailored solutions to your energy consumption needs. With high-end products including Tesla, Sonnen, Redback and BYD Batteries, there is an option to fit every solar energy system.
Top-Tier Solar Batteries for Your Home or Business
Tesla Powerwall
Tesla Powerwall is one of the best solar batteries on the market. With cutting-edge technology that maximises efficiency throughout the day and a large capacity for energy storage, the Powerwall transforms every solar energy system.
It’s an incredibly reliable battery that functions well in all conditions and promises maximum power. The Tesla Powerwall 3 is particularly efficient, providing high power in a single unit.
Redback Batteries
Redback Technologies produce some of the highest-quality solar batteries currently available. As well as being easy to install thanks to pre-wiring, Redback Batteries are incredibly flexible, working well in any solar energy system.
They’re also very reliable, independently powering homes and businesses without relying on the national grid. The ten-year warranty provides long-term cover and support for the battery’s capabilities.
Sonnen Battery
The Sonnen Battery is premium in both looks and capability. With an advanced design that prioritises battery chemistry, it has a life cycle of up to 10,000 cycles and excellent reliability. It looks sleek and modern, complementing its environment.
When paired with an integrated solar inverter, the Sonnent Battery performs well, preserving energy and providing continuous power. Its efficiency is designed to meet extensive needs.
BYD Solar Battery
Versatility is one of the most integral features of a solar battery, and the BYD Solar Battery has that in spades. It has a multitude of proficient energy storage solutions and is compatible with many brands of solar inverter.
It also maximises power output, with scalable storage that you can manually increase as needed. There are three voltage versions, one low and two high.
Solar Battery Cost and Price
Solar batteries are a premium price upfront, but they promise long-term savings by reducing electricity costs. Without a solar battery, you cannot maximise the efficiency of your solar panels and will miss out on potential financial and energy savings. The increased energy independence protects you from blackouts and outages.
The price of a solar battery is typically dictated by its type, though there are many batteries that work with several types of solar energy system. Lithium batteries are the most popular choice for home and business owners because they have high energy density and long lifespans, promising extensive energy savings.
Benefits of Solar Batteries
Energy Independence
Solar batteries make it possible to use the energy generated by solar panels throughout the day. This means zero reliance on the national grid.
Blackout Protection
Solar batteries continue to operate the broader energy conversion system during power outages, so a building can be powered during a blackout.
Optimised Solar Energy Usage
If solar energy generated by panels can’t be stored, it is lost. Solar batteries optimise energy usage to encourage efficient output.
Property Value Boost
Like solar panels, solar batteries also boost property value. They enable energy independence and guarantee lower household electricity bills.
